Sauce Gardner put the Indianapolis Colts' latest loss on himself.

After Dallas receiver Ryan Flournoy's late catch helped set up the winning touchdown Sunday, Gardner took responsibility for allowing the play in a 27-23 defeat at Lucas Oil Stadium.

“My mood is I'm (expletive) off. End of the game, big play, can't let that happen. Game on me,” Gardner said in a postgame video shared by WISH-TV.

The Colts had rallied from a 20-10 deficit to take a 23-20 lead on Spencer Shrader's 50-yard field goal with 1:37 remaining.

That left Indianapolis needing one more stop.

Instead, Dak Prescott found Flournoy down the right sideline for a 46-yard completion on the first play of Dallas' ensuing possession. Gardner was in coverage as Flournoy pulled in the pass.

Javonte Williams finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 1:08 left. The Cowboys had wiped out the Colts' lead in just 29 seconds.

Indianapolis still had time to answer, but Caleb Downs intercepted Daniel Jones on the final possession to seal the result.

Dallas finished with 508 total yards to Indianapolis' 271. The Colts, nevertheless, had a late lead and a chance to end their losing streak.

Instead, they dropped to 2-7 with their fifth consecutive defeat, as Gardner lamented his own role in the misfortune.
